Through hours of dark through mist and fog, small town flea markets that made me ooo and aaa and say we have to come back here!! Through corn fields and picking two colored cherries from the same tree. Through traffic jams and sky scrapers, finally we reached our destination. Celebrated with wine and our favorite roasted veggie and goat cheese pizza in bed and fell asleep with tears in my eyes because tomorrow I get to see my family!

In less than 7 days we will be on our way across the
Atlantic, holding hands as we take off, those first few weightless moments as
the wheels leave the runway, drinking wine from tiny airplane bottles, looking at
each other and giggling cause we have three
whole weeks of having to do nothing. Just enjoy each other and our family
and being taken care of. Away from everything that reminds me of tests and
pills and doors I’ve cried behind.

In 7 days I’ll be doing this with my toes in white sand and
the sound of the ocean tickling the shore, Copenhagen on the horizon and my
family by my side.

We are spending more and more time outside, grabbing every
chance at feeling the sun on our backs. Squinting at the glittering lake and
watching the hummingbirds hover from flower to flower. I love the feeling of
warm grass in the morning, baptized in those first rays as the sun moves over
the highest tops of the tall pines. We long for summer for so many months and
suddenly it’s here and all around us and wonderful and very, very short. Last
night we played badminton with friends and I think I really laughed for the
first time in months. One of those real laughs that make you throw your head
back and your belly hurt. And for a few
moments everything is perfect.
